Underwater Waterfall – The Legendary Aerial Illusion

Helicopter Sightseeing Tour

Witness one of the world’s most extraordinary natural illusions from the sky.

Step aboard an unforgettable helicopter journey and experience Mauritius from a breathtaking aerial perspective. With convenient airport pick-up and drop-off, this exclusive flight reveals landscapes and natural wonders that can only be truly appreciated from above.

Soar over crystal-clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, and dramatic coastlines as the island’s lush beauty unfolds beneath you. The highlight of the flight is the iconic Underwater Waterfall — a mesmerizing optical illusion formed by the movement of sand and salt deposits along the ocean floor. From the air, the seabed appears to cascade endlessly into the deep blue, creating a spectacle that feels almost unreal.

Gliding above the island’s southwest, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of rugged volcanic formations, emerald forests, and endless shades of turquoise and sapphire blending into a living masterpiece. Every moment of this flight is designed to inspire awe and create memories that last a lifetime.

An exceptional experience for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers seeking something truly rare and unforgettable.
